Written communications pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act (17 CFR 230.425)

On January 26, 2012, CA, Inc. (the Company) entered into a fixed dollar collared accelerated share repurchase agreement (the ASR Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A.
(BofA) under which the Company will repurchase $500 million of its common stock. The Company will acquire these common shares as part of its $1.5 billion stock repurchase program it announced on January 24, 2012.

Pursuant to the ASR Agreement, the Company will pay $500 million to BofA on January 27, 2012 and receive 14,988,010 shares of its common stock on
the same day. Additional shares are expected to be delivered over the term of the ASR Agreement, which ends no later than June 14, 2012. The specific number of shares to be repurchased will generally be based on the volume-weighted average
share price of the Companys common shares during the calculation period of the accelerated share repurchase program, subject to a collar provision on a portion of the transaction that establishes the minimum and maximum prices of the
shares to be repurchased under that portion of the program.

The ASR Agreement is subject to terms customary for similar agreements of
this type, including, but not limited to, the mechanism used to determine the number of shares that will be delivered, the required timing of delivery of the shares, the circumstances under which BofA is permitted to make adjustments to valuation
periods, the circumstances under which the ASR Agreement may be terminated early, the circumstances under which BofA could be entitled to deliver fewer than the minimum number of shares specified by the collar provisions or the Company could be
required to deliver cash or shares (at the Companys option) to BofA and various acknowledgements, representations and warranties made by the parties to one another.

The foregoing description of the ASR Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the ASR Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Repurchases under the
Companys stock repurchase program are expected to be made with cash on hand and may be made from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, in the open market, through solicited or unsolicited privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise. The program, which is authorized through fiscal year 2014, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Companys discretion.

Certain statements in this communication (such as statements containing the words believes, plans,
anticipates, expects, estimates, targets and similar expressions) constitute forward-looking statements that are based upon the beliefs of, and assumptions made by, the

Companys management, as well as information currently available to management. These forward-looking statements reflect the Companys current views with respect to future events and
are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. A number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including: the ability to achieve success
in the Companys strategy by, among other things, increasing sales in new and emerging enterprises and markets, enabling the sales force to sell new products, improving the Companys brand in the marketplace and ensuring the Companys
set of cloud computing, Software-as-a-Service and other new offerings address the needs of a rapidly changing market, while not adversely affecting the demand for the Companys traditional products or its profitability; global economic factors
or political events beyond the Companys control; general economic conditions and credit constraints, or unfavorable economic conditions in a particular region, industry or business sector; failure to expand partner programs; the ability to
adequately manage and evolve financial reporting and managerial systems and processes; acquisition opportunities that may or may not arise; the ability to integrate acquired companies and products into existing businesses; competition in product and
service offerings and pricing; the ability to retain and attract qualified key personnel; the ability to adapt to rapid technological and market changes; the ability of the Companys products to remain compatible with ever-changing operating
environments; access to software licensed from third parties; use of software from open source code sources; discovery of errors in the Companys software and potential product liability claims; significant amounts of debt and possible future
credit rating changes; the failure to protect the Companys intellectual property rights and source code; fluctuations in the number, terms and duration of our license agreements as well as the timing of orders from customers and channel
partners; reliance upon large transactions with customers; risks associated with sales to government customers; breaches of the Companys software products and the Companys and customers data centers and IT environments; third-party
claims of intellectual property infringement or royalty payments; fluctuations in foreign currencies; failure to effectively execute the Companys workforce reductions; successful outsourcing of various functions to third parties; potential tax
liabilities; and other factors described more fully in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results
may vary materially from those described herein as believed, planned, anticipated, expected, estimated or targeted. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information in this communication, except as otherwise required by law. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
